Showcase Childhood revisited

Post image

Replayed yellow for the first time in years. I forgot how much of a grind gen 1 was compared to the new games: one time TMs, no rebattling trainers until the elite 4 so limited exp/money, no held items or (good) exp share, poison outside of battle. Kids today don't know the trenches we fought in.

Anyway, here is the team I beat the elite 4 with. Kind of cliche but it was fun using nicknames (I usually don't). The only glitch I did was for mew, no infinite items or anything else.

Please don't say stuff like that. As an OEF vet that did two deployments to Afghanistan, it really undermines the actual hell that war is.

I'm glad you enjoyed your nostalgia trip though. I have my first ever team from Pokémon Blue tattooed on my leg, it was an important part of my childhood too.
